Narrazioni affettive nella gestione del diabete di tipo 1. Studio pilota di una triade familiare
Full text linkIl diabete mellito tipo 1 è una malattia cronica dovuta ad un disordine metabolico ad eziologia multipla. Definita
da Bury (2005) come una “discordanza biografica”, il suo trattamento si basa sul coinvolgimento attivo delle famiglie e
rende necessario una riorganizzare della vita quotidiana del paziente e della famiglia. Lo studio ha lo scopo di analizzare le
interazioni di una triade familiare in termini di modalità enabling (facilitante) e constraining (ostacolante) e l’influenza sulla
salute del ragazzo di queste modalità comunicative. Gli strumenti self report, come la Scala degli ambiti di discussione familiari
(Gambini, 2008) per il tema scelto e il Sample Diabetes Questionnaire (SDQ) dello Stanford Patient Education Research
Center (2007), per la salute del paziente, hanno affiancato lo strumento Constraining and Enabling Coding System (CECS;
Hauser, et al.1991 adattato da Chiarolanza, et al. 2016) per le analisi dell’interazione videoregistrata di una triade familiare.
Dall’analisi delle interazioni emerge che le forme comunicative nella triade si orientano verso modalità comunicative della
dimensione cognitiva vincolante. Questo sembra interferire sul monitoraggio della glicemia e sul rapporto del figlio col
medico. La modalità con cui i membri di una triade riescono a coordinarsi o non, dunque, durante un’interazione sembra
avere effetti sulla salute dell’adolescente sia declinata come qualità delle relazioni familiari che di benessereThe type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by a metabolic disorder with multiple etiologies. Defined
by Bury (2005) as a "biographical disagreement ", its treatment is based on the active involvement of families and makes it
necessary to reorganize both patient daily life and his/her family one. This paper aims to analyze the interactions of a
family triad in terms of enabling and constraining style and how this type of communication has an impact on the child
health. We utilized for this study self-report questionnaires and Constraining and Enabling Coding System (CECS; Hauser, et
al.,1991 adapted by Chiarolanza, et al., 2016) for analysis of a family triad interaction. Results showed that interactive
communication in the triad are oriented towards constraining cognitive dimension. This could interfere with blood
glucose monitoring and the patient relationship with integrated team care. Members of a triad can coordinate or not
during a family interaction and this could have effects on adolescent health in terms of quality of family relationships and

Intersoggettività di coppia: un predittore della soddisfazione coniugale
No full textIntersubjectivity perspective is mainly focused on the relational matrix that occurs in the dyadic open system caregiver-child (Stern, 1995; Beebe, Lachmann, 2015). Intersubjectivity perspective suggests that the origin of mind is dialogic and dyadic with an ongoing emotional coordination of Self with a significant Other. This simultaneous and complementary mechanism promotes mutual adjustment. The continuous co-construction is feature of caregiver-child dyad but it could also be explored in the field of romantic relations (Carli et al., 2009). Our goal is to explore the influence of couple intersubjectivity on marital satisfaction, in terms of a predictor. This study is based on a sample of 152 heterosexual couples (MH=31,60 years; MW=28,89 years; relationship length M=45,67 months). We used a questionnaire composed by two different scales: Couple Intersubjectivity Scale (CIS; Chiarolanza, 2015) and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS; Spanier, 1976). We verified bivariate correlation between the two scales and calculated the regression model in order to understand the possible role of couple intersubjectivity as a predictor. Analysis showed that husbands were more satisfied (r=,511**; β=.485) when they perceived more intersubjectivity in the couple. Wives scores’ intersubjectivity did not influence marital satisfaction for husbands (r=,280**; β=.055). Again, results showed that wife marital satisfaction is significantly influenced by own couple intersubjectivity (r=,603**; β=.546); interestingly, we observed that there is a tendency of husband couple intersubjectivity to predict marital satisfaction in wives (r=,376**; β=.123).
According to these results, it is possible to confirm our main hypothesis that couple intersubjectivity could be consider as a predictor of marital satisfaction. Besides, it is possible to argue that a satisfying relation is characterized by partners’ ability to share positive mental and emotional states inside the couple

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
